Crashes after Leopard Installation

After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.1 several applications are crashing or freezing. One of them is Firefox 3.0, other is Grab utility, that quits on launch, everytime. I applied the 10.5.4 update and still the problem persists. Any help direction is much appreciated.
Thank you

I tried both sets of Suggestions. I used Validate fonts to identify corrupted fonts and deleted them. Then uninstalled Microsoft 2008 (source of newer fonts). Installed the combo update. Reinstalled Microsoft 2008 (and got the fonts back). Updated Microsoft 2008 to its latest patch. But still the Grab utility crashes upon launch.
Thank you for your help

As the article stated
Start up in single-user mode by holding Command-S after restarting the computer.
Execute these commands, each on a single line:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
Execute this command on a single line. Important: Type the command carefully, misuse of rm may damage other files.
rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
Restart normally.
If the issue persists, use solution 1 above instead.

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
What can I do?
How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Hey StephSassine,
First, I would run through these steps:
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
Increase disk space
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

Keynote disappeared after leopard installation

I AM HAVING SOME SERIOUS DATA LOSS AND PROGRAM LOCATION PROBLEMS AFTER LEOPARD INSTALLATION.
I can not find my previous keynote application program , which was part of ilife08, where did go?
same thing with adobe files , every program is trial version after LEOPARD INSTALLATION.

Ahh, welcome to the wonderful world of wifi under Leopard. Maybe you weren't aware that tens of thousands of people have been having endless problems with wifi whilst using Leopard .... I just got back from holiday - full signal yet no internet. Connect using ethernet and there it is - working perfectly. The culprit? Apple's very own Airport extreme base station, the new one which I bought thinking my old one was on the blink - nope.
Meanwhile Apple have not said a word about this in the last 8-10 weeks of utter misery for countless people - not a sausage. Many people are counting on 10.5.2 fixing this. I say don't count on it. Remember to complain to Apple as it is their own software/hardware that is at fault here. Meanwhile, they introduce a ... wifi laptop.... ooh the irony.

Software Update Issue-After Leopard Installation

I installed Leopard yesterday and ran the first software update; everything worked OK; the first software updated included three updates: Remote Desktop Client update; iDVD update and Garageband update.
Today I tried to run another update and had this issue: while the Software Update is displaying a message saying "New software is available for your computer" there is nothing listed below and the install button is disabled! Then I went to the Software Update Preference and saw a message there saying Last Attempt Failed; error occurred while checking
Does anyone have the same issue while trying a new software update after Leopard installation?
I do understand there is another new update issued yesterday by Apple regarding login key
Grateful for any insight re this problem

Hi. I had the same problem after doing an erase and install of Leopard yesterday. When I go into Terminal (actually iTerm) and type "softwareupdate -l" (to list all updates), I see:
XML parser error:
Encountered unexpected EOF
Old-style plist parser error:
Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
This appears to be a problem with com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, the property list for Software Update, but I'm not sure. If I type "find ~/Library/ -name '*plist' -exec plutil {} \;" to check all the plists, however, the Software Update plist checks out as OK. Furthermore, deleting that property list and rebooting to force the OS to create a new plist does not fix the problem. Weird. Now, if I type "sudo softwareupdate -i -a" to install all updates (change "-a" to "-r" to only install recommended updates), it works fine. I still get that same error when I try to run Software Update normally afterwards, but if I go to the preferences, all of the updates are listed under Installed Updates. So, I can get the OS to update automatically, but only through the Terminal. This is very weird, and I hope someone can shed more light on this situation.

Crashes after Leopard install

Hey gang. Here's the scenario. I have installed a 3rd internal hard drive to my Power Mac G4 AGP series Mac. It is running off a new Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA controller card. After a lot trouble just trying to get Leopard to "see" the new drive as an option to install it on, it FINALLY has! I had to install some older firmware from Sonnet that helped to do so. SO, it installed Leopard onto my new Seagate 500gig drive but when it says to reboot to continue, it starts rebooting and then just suddenly shuts completely down...like a complete failure or something. I re-installed and still the same thing. Any thoughts?
you guys have helped me get this far, hopefully we can finally break through to the other side!! Allllmost there! : )

Well, it seems that the main problem was with the firmware from the new Sonnet PCI controller card. After talking to a rep, they said many PowerMac G4 users had better luck with Leopard using the an older version of firmware. 5.1.3 instead of 5.3.1. But before I found all that out I had cloned the partition that was running my current OSX (10.3.9) to the new Seagate 500gig drive in hopes that I would be able to install Leopard after doing so but it wasn't until installing the older firmware that I was able to actually install Leopard onto the drive. The problem was that it was crashing after installation when I would reboot. I wiped the "clone" off of the new Seagate, re-initialized the drive and it worked fine after that! So apparently, something did not like the cloning even though it "installation was successful". Don't know if that helps but I hope so. thanks again for all of your help!

FIX for Canon MP 600 after leopard installation

I discovered a fix for the Canon MP 600 after the leopard installation. After many challenges and troubleshooting with no positive results I tried something that worked!
Go to Applications on the HD, choose Utilities, Choose airport Utility.app. It will open and ask if you would like an update to the Airport Extreme Utility. Choose 'update' and follow instructions. I then went into the System Preferences, removed the MP 600 printer, downloaded the MP 600 driver from the Canon Website and installed it. I then rebooted the computer, went back to System Preferences, added in the MP 600 and all was working well.
I hope this helps someone.

on the 'rinting' topics, someone suggested throwing away all the drivers and downloading from the websiet. And it worked.
thanks to all who thought about it

ISight not working after Leopard installation - 1st Generation MacBook

My iSight is no longer working on my 1G MacBook after Leopard clean installation. Does anyone have this problem?

What problem are other people having? My iSight also failed, but it's the strangest problem I've ever had with my Mac. It will turn on and stay on when it should, but the image is dark to start out with and fades to black.
Other people are mentioning systems not recognizing the camera at all. Is this the case across the board or is anyone experiencing what I mentioned here?

Computer won't start properly after Leopard installation attempt

Yesterday I tried to install Leopard 10.5.6 on my G5 (currently running Tiger 10.4.11) and ran into a ton of problems. First, a message came up preventing me from upgrading without erasing my hard drive. I decided to quit the installer and back up my drive before erasing it, but after trying to start up again on my main disk, the computer will no longer get past the Apple logo screen. It stays that way for several minutes, and the computer revs and revs until it's at max RPM, then the computer just shuts off. I can't access my data to back it up.
I did some internet research and tried started up from the install DVD again (which still works) and tried to repair my disk using Disk Utility. This didn't work and an error message came up: "Attempted to Repair Disk, attempt failed. Invalid Node Structure, Volume Check Failed. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
If anyone has any advice I would be VERY grateful, I am hoping to not have to have the computer repaired as I already have my other Mac out of service as well and the cost of repair has been high. I need to back up some important files before I update to Leopard, is there any way to do this while starting up from the DVD since my Startup disk doesn't work now? What happened??!!!

Is it possible that the piece stuck in the audio jack has resulted in turning off the internal speakers?
I would say that the Leopard installation is not 100%. Sometimes this happens. Or you may have a piece of software installed that mutes the speakers, and it needs to disable that. If it's not the latter, then I would erase the hard drive and reinstall from scratch. If that's not feasible then you can do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

System crash after patch installation

After the installation of some actual patches the system crashes. I've a SUN Solaris 5.8 installed on a ultra sparc machine. I heard about a patch that leads to a system crash if there are not sysc. mirrors. Does anyone know this patch?

VST/AU not listed after leopard installation

Hi, I just upgraded to leopard, which required additional disk space. So I dumped the folder /library/audio/plugins to an external HD before the install. I copied it back afterwards but now when I load logic, there is nothing in AU generators or AU Instruments. Before I did this I had lots of 3rd party AU/VST instruments. So i deleted contents of the au and vst plugin folders and tried reinstalling my plugins. I've done battery and realguitar so far and the components and VST icons are there (i've wrapped them both using fxpansion) but they are still not in the au list in logic, or in the AU manager. Anyone got any ideas? thanks, dren

I reinstalled fxpansion (vst wrapper) and newly installed plugins were wrapping and being detected. Had to install them all again as the validation was crashing after I moved the plugins folder so i dont recommend doing this!

...big trouble after leopard installation. Please help!

I have recently upgraded to Leopard from 10.4. After the installation everything seems normal, the computer boots as usual, I am able to log in and everything seems fine. The first thing I do is to connect my external hard drive [Formac disk 800 XTR] - 800 GB via firewire, because that's the place where my files are.
Then the following message comes up:
"The hard drive "xxx" could not be repaired by the computer. You only get limited access to it. You have to backup your data and reformat the hard drive as soon as possible."
What I notice now is that finder is not working. I can open most other programs and the dashboard but not do anything in them.. I pull out the hard drive and restart the computer, but it's still the same, finder is not working, you can open some programs, the dock and the dashboard are usable. I can't access any disks, which means that i can't reinstall leopard or revert to tiger.
Also, I have never had any trouble with that hard drive before, and just over five seconds it has to be repaired.. It was my secure backup...
I can't open it with my macbook either.
Any suggestions on what to do?
My specs are
iMac G5 (Power PC) 2,0 GHz 2GB ram

Yep, meeting the minimum requirements will get you minimum performance. A machine that runs Tiger great may not be able to keep up with all the new code in Leopard.
CockTail is just another utility program that I keep around. I leave my computers running 24/7 so I don't need to worry about the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance scripts. They used to be called cron tasks, but are are being handled by launchd. They run very early in the morning and if the computer is not running, they may not run very often.
Cocktail can run them manually without you having to resort to terminal commands. It can also give you access to several other utility type settings like enabling journaling, deleting DS Store files, tweaking network transmission settings, showing hidden files, and many other settings that you can work with in Terminal if you want.
Use it sparingly.

Unexpected Error Occurred (error code -600) after Leopard Installation

Installed Leopard for the second time.
Everything seems to work fine, but after opening and then closing Mail, I'm unable to open it via the dock. Tried to open by selecting from the applications menu, and get the following message:
The operation could not be completed.
An unexpected error occurred (error code -600)
Same thing with Backup, Parallels too.
Shutdown behavior is odd. From the apple icon, shutdown doesn't work, everything goes away on the desktop, then the spinning wheel (not beach ball), then nothing. Have to power off to quit, can't be good for the hardware.
Any suggestions, or am I doomed to a clean install and reinstalling all of my applications? Thankfully I have a drive backed up with SuperDuper with 10.4!
Thanks for the help.

OK, I've got ContentBarrier X4 installed and this was the cause of my error codes and it looks like several - if not all of my installation issues with Leopard.
Apparently, perhaps with Login KeyChain update, it wiped out the ContentBarrier administration name, and on launch, it was likely blocking the applications.
First, install the Login KeyChain update (see Apple software download page).
Reinstalled ContentBarrierX4 http://www.intego.com/services/updates.asp (make sure to select ContentBarrierX4).
Open ContentBarrierX4 - you'll have to sign in as the administer. You may have to go into Preferences > Accounts > to make sure that you've got admin rights.
Once you logged in, exit, then reboot.
For the first time since installing Leopard, I can shutdown without a hard power off.
Salvation...

Photoshop CS3 Crashes After Leopard Install

I tried upgrading to Leopard years ago from Tiger but downgraded back because of this same issue. I know I need to upgrade my system so I just installed Leopard again and again the same issue with Photoshop CS3 arises. After the install I am unable to open Photoshop, it just crashes. I imagine someone has to have an answer to this by now. Please help!
Thanks.

Disk Utility crashes after Leopard upgrade

I have a problem with Disk Utility crashing (error message is the generic "application unexpectedly quit")on launch after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard. I bought the family pack upgrade and had no problem upgrading my G4 mini. However, my Intel mini 1.33GHz, seems to have gotten spooked. For the most part the pgrade was fine but somehow I lost Disk Utility. Has this been seen before? What might I try? Incidentally, the mini has 2Gigs of RAM and plenty of free disk space. The problem occurs in all accounts. Oh, I forgot to mention that I also upgraded to the latest version of Leopard (without checking whether disk utility worked after to install from the disk - so technically, this could be an combo upgrade issue? Having said that, I did exactly the same with the G4 mini and had no issues.
Any thoughts?
Thanks much!

Boot from the Leopard DVD - hold down "C" key with disk already in place - and after the language screen, in the menu top left, select Utilities and run the DU from there. Repair HD and permissions.
If you did a "merge" install from Tiger (default) then you may have brought some things along that Leopard does not like.
Did you have any "haxies" or other old 3rd party apps installed in Tiger? Most of them won't work with Leopard and need to be replaced or removed.
